NEW ROCHELLE—The New Rochelle City Council has selected MacQuesten Development, LLC of Pelham as the winning bidder to develop a major mixed-use project in the Downtown District.

The firm plans to build a 27-story $110-million mixed-use building at the current site of the city's Fire Station #1 at 45 Harrison St.

MacQuesten's proposed project, which was recommended by the city's Department of Development, includes 282 residential units, approximately 9,500 square feet of retail, a four-story parking garage and an option for nearly 50,000 square feet of office space.

The developer's proposal also includes relocating Fire Station #1 to a new site. MacQuesten intends to start construction on the new building while keeping the original station fully operational. The developer is hoping to begin construction on the project in the first quarter of 2018, according to a company spokesman.

“The successful development of 45 Harrison Street is yet another milestone in our ambitious redevelopment initiative and a positive step forward in helping us create the ideal environment to live, work and grow in New Rochelle,” says New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson.

Rella Fogliano, principal at MacQuesten, said of her firm's winning project proposal, “The site has tremendous potential and we assembled a top notch team of industry professionals who will bring our vision to fruition. Our goal is to complete a development that will not just meet, but exceed the city's expectations.”

MacQuesten was one of multiple developers to respond to a competitive Request for Proposals issued in January of this year by the city for 45 Harrison St. The Harrison Street property is located between Huguenot and Main streets, just east of the core Downtown area and in close proximity to I-95.

The development of the 45 Harrison Street property into a high-rise, mixed-use building complements New Rochelle's overall redevelopment plan, which includes the rezoning of 279 acres of land around its train station in its Downtown area that is expected to attract more than $4 billion in new investment. The initiative allows for more than 12 million square feet of new construction including up to 2.4 million square feet of office space, 1 million square feet of retail, 6,370 housing units and 1,200 hotel rooms.
